Honestly I think our cats enjoyed the day as much as any of the people in the house. They had so many boxes and bags to hide in, and so much wrapping paper to claw up!

Overall the holiday was good. Things were low-stress aside from an over-tired four year old at the end of the day. My mother-in-law didn't even ruin the family dinner by talking shit about Jews, for once!

We had a quiet one this year, as it's been a bit rough with for my girlfriend with her uncle and gran passing this year. I liked it. It was nice just to spend it having a restful, low key time. The cats enjoyed all the fuss, too

Happy new year to you all! The future space year of 2020! Not quite as envisioned in Machine Man!

Yup. I hear that. My mum passed away last January. Christmas was her favourite holiday. It was a bit rough as there are other family with health issues we're worried about atm and we had to stay in the city instead of going to my dad's this year but it turned out okay. Even if the 6 year old did wake us up at 5:30 in the morning.
